June 2009 Archives

When I looked yesterday evening, the 29th June 2009, the show of "SF Boerse" from Swiss Television "SF", I had to remark a little flaw. The moderator was talking about Novartis, the international pharma company from Basel. The talk was about defensive investment titles, which had a slower growth in the last few months than others. For this purpose the daily stock price has been shown with today's trend indicated.

Well at the same time was a info-bar at the bottom of the screen running. As luck would have it, was the stock quote of Novartis just in this moment visible. And it showed another trend respectively another daily change in percentage. But see yourself in the screenshot below.

As I was reading a little bit on the web this morning I found this article here from The Next Web.

And as you may think, I had to watch the video on Youtube... The answers are really shocking, but watch it for yourself:

Today I stumbled over the report from Techcrunch and had a quick look on the new search engines mentioned there.

Whereas Bing is running a big ad-campaign to promote itself, Wolframalpha is just there and provides a nice knowledge database.

I think both portals are well done, but have a slightly different focus. There is just so much rumor going on about Bing, that Wolframalpha can profit form the press coverage (as I do promote both sites here as well).

Boks is a visual grid editor for CSS and is based on the Blueprint CSS Framework. I recently stumbled over this tiny, nice tool, when I have browsed in the web and found a page, that looks really good (look at the page here). Well there are some other technologies used as well in this page, but never the less, I like the layout. And as I had a quick look into the Meta-Tags of this page I could see, that the Generator was indicated with Boks.

I will try out this tool for sure, next time when I have to create a layout for a website. And I am wondering how this will integrate with Typo3 or other CMS. Or have you any experiences with that tool, then please drop a short comment.
